Cutest Girl First and Middle Names (That Sound Good Together)


Looking for the perfect first and middle name for girls? Finding just the right first and middle name combination for your baby girl can be tough! You want a first and middle name combination that go together and just rolls off the tongue.

When I was pregnant, I was sure it was going to be a girl (wishful thinking on my part I think LOL) and I was making lists of baby girl name combintions I loved!

I didn’t actually get to use it because I ended up with the cutest little boy but I figured it might help someone else who’s in search of cute first and middle names for girls (and meanings). Hopefully, you’ll find some name combination inspiration for your own little one from my favorite girl name combinations!

Tips For Choosing Girl’s First And Middle Name Combinations

When you’re choosing your baby girl’s first and middle name combination, there’s a few things to keep me mind to help you find just the right fit.

It can be so overwhelming picking a name. Just when you find the right one, then you have to find the perfect middle name that goes well together with the first name. Sometimes, this is even tougher than the first name!

I love the idea of a longer elegant girl name that has a cute nickname.

Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect first and middle name combination for girls.

Family Names – If you’re having trouble picking a middle name or worried you won’t love the name you picked later- consider using a family name. Some families pass down middle names. Or you can choose to honor a beloved family member. Some families all use the same letter for their middle names.

Say It Out Loud – sometimes a name sounds perfect in your head or even when you say the first and middle names alone but you may end up with a surprise when you say the full name out loud for the first time.

Amy Shumer’s little guy comes to mind here. She named her son Gene Attel Fischer but didn’t realize until later that Gene Attel actually sounds a lot like genital and ended up changing it later.

Say the name out loud a few times to get a feel for it and see if your girl’s first and middle names sound goo together.

Baby’s Initials – along the same lines, you’ll also want to think about baby’s initials when choosing a first and middle name for your girl. You could end up with an unfortunate combination initials like my old classmate Alison Sutton Smith. I love how the name flows but she got teased a lot about the initials.

Don’t Choose Two Names You LOVE – I know you’ll probably want to choose two names you equally adore but DON’T! If you have a second girl you may regret ‘wasting’ a perfect name on a middle name.

Think About Possible Nicknames – Your baby girl’s first and middle name combination could lead to an adorable nickname so keep that in mind as well. I always think about Arthur’s little sister D.W. (Dora Winifred) which I thought sounded super cute.

Consider Name Meanings – if you’re torn between a few favorite names, try looking up the meaning the names. You may love one meanning more than another. There are usually multiple meanings depending on origin so if you don’t love a meaning you can probably find an alternative.

I did that for quite a few names on the list.

Baby Girl First And Middle Names That Sound Good Together

I hope you found a few favorite baby girl name combinatioins that sound good together!

Choosing a baby name is such a personal thing. It’s something special between you and your partner. I suggest holding off on sharing your choice until it’s time to annouce your little one’s arrival.

Hearing negative feedback about your choice before baby is born can easily get you questioning your choices and send you back to the drawing board.

Instead, write down a few you love and keep adding to the list. Keep revisitng your list throughout your pregnancy, saying the name out loud as you talk to your little one.

Get a feel for what names just seem to stick and which ones you aren’t sure about any more.

Eventually, the right name will become clear.

SHARING IS CARING!

I love your list of baby girl names! It's very helpful. My daughter is due on Feburary 10th with her 1st baby. (We find out the gender tomorrow, 🥳 I think it's a girl.) Now the funny thing is her older brother (by 10 yrs) & his wife are due on November 14th with their 1st which her 1st name is Violet but they won't share her middle name yet. So I'm going to share your adorable list with both of our kids. Thanks for the extremely interesting tips as well very, very true! God Bless you and your loved ones and please stay safe in this difficult & trying time that we are living in!
